Chapter Forty Four

Leea was watching a Korean drama when she heard Ryo enter the house first. White Blaze was curled up on the couch next to her with his head on her lap. She looked over at him as Cye and Kento came in bickering, something about a girl named Lynn. She saw Sage come in before Rowen, who had a slight smile on his face. Leea smiled, "who is that, and what dynasty spirit has possessed him?"

Rowen frowned instantly at her remark, but politely said, "at least I'm not guilty of watching Korean dramas."

Leea stuck out her tongue, and turned off the TV. She nearly flipped over the couch, "where's Mia?"

Ryo replied shook his head at her enthusiasm , "she's busy deciphering some new texts on the situation with the nether realm."

"New text," Leea grinned and questioned at the boys, her wings twitching with excitement. She clasped her hands together, "who found it?"

"Someone at the UN," Cye answered as he put Kento in a choke hold. "Someone that this big oaf can't get his mind off of!"

"What, she's cute," Kento grinned, Cye's head lock never really hurt him but he always pretended a little for him. He made a fake smiling grimace, "her name is Lynn..."

"So your in love again," Leea asked and pretended to be jealous. "I thought you were all about me!"

"Don't encourage him," Sage snapped but she only smiled.

Kento broke from Cye's light choke and draped an arm over her winged shoulders, "well...how bout you and me hook up..."

She winked, which made him blush, "oh, please, it's gonna take a lot more than one liners to get close to me."

He frowned and made a face as Cye said, "I guess you're not as couth as Lynn says you are!"

Leea laughed as the boys started talk smack to each other, it was good to see them laughing. Kento changed subject, and jerked a finger at Rowen, "hey, I least I don't have a kid!"

Leea frowned, "wait what?"

"Long story," he paused but she was already heading at him with a punch. Sage grabbed her as Rowen explained, "she's from the future..."

Leea paused in mid struggle, her first thought had been he had some kid with some other woman and didn't tell Hoshi. She glared at him, "please, tell me you're kidding, so I can hit you..."

"Nope," Ryo smiled. "Apparently, this Cerule character is his daughter from the future, when you sealed the nether realm up, apparently you messed up some time-space thinga ma jig..."

"You mean continuum," Rowen interjected. She was still frozen in mid punch, looking at the boys, trying to decide who to hit first.

"Yeah, whatever, it figures though," Ryo smiled which perked Rowen's attention.

"What figures," Rowen quickly asked.

"The resident air and space, astrophysicist has a kid who comes to him from the future," he beamed and Leea bust up laughing.

Sage let her go, but she ended up socking him in the arm, "what was that for?"

"For holding onto me too hard," she snapped at him. He just rolled his eyes, as she said, "well, what did you guys find out."

"Not much," Ryo said briefly, "Mia is still looking through it but she thinks she has an idea of how this all started."

"Ruby told us..."

"Ruby told us what she knew," Sage said harshly. "Remember, she left when she was a child, she couldn't possibly understand all of it, and Bastet could have been lying through her teeth."

There was silence at the mention of Bastet, but Rowen was the one who broke it, "if we going to get involved in this, we need to start training."

Kento nodded, "good to hear that from you bud."

Ryo smiled at Leea, "are you going to join us?"

Leea fluttered her wings brilliantly, almost lifting off the floor, "yes, oh hell to the yes!"

"You're too enthused by this," Cye assessed.

"When isn't she enthused," Rowen added and she cracked her knuckles.

Sage looked at her, "with the temper you have, you could use some training."

"Let's begin then!"
